5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=554.62
2) x%=360.49
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=554.62/360.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.49 is what percent of 554.62
